I feel confidently saying most awards are given to worthless films and trendy actors. So, here are my picks from 2008.

Best Drama: Seven Pounds

Best Superhero Flick: Iron Man
(Honorable Mention: The Incredible Hulk)

Best Action Film: Quantum of Solace

Best Documentary: Helvetica (I know it came out it 2007, but I didn’t find out about it until last year.)

Best Animated Film: WALL-E

Best Comedy: An American Carol

Best Sequel: The Dark Knight

Internet Release: The Echo

Best Actor: Heath Ledger

Best Actress: Natalie Portman (what can I say…I’m a sucker.)

Best Director: Jon Favreau

Most Visually Exciting: The Dark Knight

Best Film: Iron Man

Worst Film: Wanted

Most Personally Disappointing: A tie between The Clone Wars and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Film I Was Most Surprised I Liked: The Incredible Hulk

(I thought about writing a explanation/defense for each selection, but decided instead to let them speak for themselves.)
